Studying Congregations A New Handbook

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Specific in focus, excellent in application
The book is specific in focus and excellent in application.

It is everything it is presented to be.

3 Stars Good ideas, bad illistrations
The ideas and methods that this book presents are very good and useful. I have used some of them in my own ministry. Some of the illistrations that the author uses are very liberal illistrations to make her point.

4 Stars Studying Congregations Review
The book is great. It outlines how to study a congregation with objectivity as the key. It also provides sample surveys, which is great. Good for individuals or for group research.

4 Stars Helpful book for analyzing congregations
This book provides a step-by-step process for analyzing a congregation– its theology, context, culture and identity, dynamics, resources, and leadership. For church leaders looking for ways to figure out what's *really* been happening in a congregation, what its mission might be, and where it might be headed, this is a valuable book!
